Kazakh students to receive education loans at lower interest rate

He said the Ministry will continue working on improvement of the national unified testing system as a tool of selection of successful applicants. The selection process will be based on the level of academic achievements and social category of the applicants.

«The cost of the grants will be revised with the implementation of a 30-100% differentiation,» Sayasat Nurbek said at the Government’s weekly meeting.

The Ministry plans also to introduce beneficial educational loans at 2-3% per annum.

The mechanism of public-private partnership between universities and construction companies on provision of dormitories for students will be improved as well.
